TEXT OF MR. GOVERNOR’S BRIEFING ON THE UPDATE ON THE FIGHT AGAINST CORONAVIRUS IN THE STATE OF OSUN

My Dear People of The State of Osun.

You will recall that three days ago, I addressed you on the first recorded case of the novel Coronavirus in the State, which was confirmed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.

Sadly, a second person has tested positive, meaning our State now has two confirmed cases of Covid-19.

Though the first case is stable and receiving adequate medical care, it has become imperative to rev up measures to keep our citizens safe.

Following a review of our current situation, we have in addition to the subsisting measures taken in the past one week, decided to shut down all our land boundaries, effective from midnight, Sunday, March 29, 2020.

In addition, a complete lockdown of the State will come into effect from midnight, Tuesday, March 31, 2020.

We believe this is the way to go, if we must contain the spread of this virus. To this end, we urge citizens and residents to take advantage of the hours between now and Tuesday to stock up provisions that will last two weeks in the first instance.

During the lockdown, there will be no movement within the State. The closed boundaries also means there will be no inter-state movements.

However, those on essential duties such as health personnel, fire services, environmental officials, security personnel, power and water supply agencies, media and telecommunication officers will be on duty.

Also, pharmaceutical and medical outfits will be allowed to open.

We have mandated and mobilised the State’s taskforce and security operatives to enforce measures to the letter.

We, therefore, strongly advise our people to remain in their homes during the period of the lockdown.
